Welfare said: There isn't any indication that the One S is selling badly because of the One X. If anything, going by Amazon, the One S is placing the highest it has in quite some time. There have been pretty good deals for the One S this month and Black Friday never accounts for such as high split for November. Also I would say going from $2XX to $1XX is a significant barrier breach for the mass market. We saw insane sales in 2015 when the consoles went $299 and a quieter November when they only dropped to $249. December picked up significantly from November but it could be said Black Friday was hampered by a less than stellar price cut. Reaching $199/$189 could see a massive increase simply because it is now under $200. |
That may be true too... i'll think about this when i'll do my November NPD predictions. What really could change all is how Nov/Dec split will be this year.
For some reason last year December was way better than November, almost feel like it was 2010 again. While all others years from 2011 to 2015 Nov/Dec have been waaay closer.
It depend if this year the split will be like in 2015 or in 2016, i think.
